The SA-14S1 delivers superb musicality along with the ability to handle a broad
range of disc types as well as decoding high resolution audio files from a computer.
It's also compatible with the iPod, iPod touch and the iPhone, so you can connect
your device directly to the convenient front panel USB port and enjoy pure digital
transfer for optimum fidelity. The rugged chassis features our latest center mount
disc drive mechanism, mounted onto its own sub-chassis to minimize vibrations, and
the disc tray is constructed of highly rigid glass fiber reinforced plastic composite
for operational stability and reliability. Our exclusive HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier
Module) technologies ensure top fidelity along with wide bandwidth, and the SA-14S1
incorporates HDAM and HDAM SA2 devices. In addition to playback of CD, CD-R and
CD-RW discs, the SA-14S1 also plays Super Audio CDs, and can playback multi-channel
Super Audio CDs in stereo via the built-in downmixing function. The elegant remote
control can also control the matching PM-14S1 reference grade digital integrated
amplifier.

The power supply features a large high current toroidal power transformer that features
OFC (oxygen free copper) secondary windings, along with high speed, high current
Shottky Barrier Diodes in the rectifier stage for the purest DC voltage output.

Reference Class D/A Conversion

In order to handle the widest range of disc and audio file types, the SA-14S1 incorporates the reference class DSD1972A digital-to-analog converter, which provides up to 192 kHz/24 bit resolution, along with DSD decoding with Super Audio CDs. Two prevent interference between the various stages, the power supply, digital audio stage and analog audio stages each feature their own individual circuit boards. A variety of disc and file types are supported including music CDs and Super Audio CDs, as well as linear PCM, AAC, MP3 and WAV file types. Via the rear panel USB-B port, you can connect your computer and enjoy linear PCM decoding as well as DSD (direct stream digital) decoding via bitstream or DoP (DSD over PCM).

Expanded Connectivity
